Can birth control cause weight loss? i haven't changed anything in my diet but am losing weight.

See your doctor: If you are losing weight, it's best to check in with the doctor, who put you on the birth control pills. They need to be notified. Then, you'll have peace of mind. So will they. They will be able to tell you if your weight-loss is from the birth control pills.
